Guest guest Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 Drink up: http://www.nytimes.com/2004/09/28/health/28regi.html A study which appeared online in The International Journal of Cancer, was cited as finding that a glass of wine a day appeared to cut the risk of prostate cancer in men in half. But the researchers, led by Dr. Janet L. Stanford of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, were cited as saying they were reluctant to endorse alcohol use, given the other health problems it can cause. And the risks of too much alcohol consumption, they said, probably outweighs the benefits. Still, the study suggested a clear association between red wine and reduced cancer risk, with the risk dropping by 50 percent among men who reported drinking four or more glasses each week. The findings were based on a study of about 750 Seattle area men, ages 40 to 64, whose prostate cancer had recently been diagnosed. Sorry, no time to search for the paper.
